Electronica star Diplo accused David Guetta of ripping off his hit Lean On.

This week (beg09May16) Guetta, 48, released a track titled This One's For You, which also acts as the official song of the UEFA Euro 2016 international soccer tournament.

However Diplo, 37, who with his group Major Lazer teamed up with DJ Snake, 29, for their 2015 hit Lean On, took to Twitter to call out the French musician for alleged similarities.

After Snake and Diplo sent a series of Tweets, since deleted, dubbing Guetta's song a "Fake" version of Lean On, Diplo made his feelings clear with a tweet he left on the social media site which read, "I respect my elders but when they straight jack us its clap back season."

He also added a corn emoji to the Tweet and signed off with the phrase, "that is all".

As the official song of Euro 2016, This One's For You will feature during television broadcasts throughout the soccer tournament and will also be performed by Guetta at its opening and closing ceremonies.

Euro 2016 will take place in soccer stadiums across France from 10 June (16) until the final on 10 July.

Another act who are using their musical talents to contribute towards the tournament are Welsh band Manic Street Preachers, who have created an anthem for their country's soccer team titled Together Stronger (C'mon Wales).
